presumed drowned by two fishing
companions, Rudy Paul and Harold
Walsey, also of Warm Springs.
The trio went to the Sherars Bridge
area on the evening of October 7,
to fish. According to Bureau of
Indian Affairs Special Agency offi
cer Rob Moran, Paul fished on a
scaffold a short distance down stream
from Tewee. Walsey went to the
car to repair his net and fell asleep.
The next morning when Paul went
to check on Tewee, there was no
sign of Tewee. Paul stated he did
find Tewee's net, a gunny sack with
a steelhead and some other per
sonal items of Tewee's on the scaf
fold. A search of surrounding towns,
from The Dalles to Warm Springs,
failed to turn up any information
on Tewee.
On October 8 it was determined
that he was missing and it was pos
sible that he had fallen in the river
while fishing. A search was con
ducted by the Warm Springs police.
Fire and Safety, Utilities, Natural
Resources, numerous volunteers and
the Warm Springs Search and Res
cue volunteer group.
A net was strung across the river
about a mile-and-a-half from where
Tewee was believed to have fallen
in. Another net was strung further
downstream. A team of searchers
set up a base camp and remained at
the river continuing the search until
on October 22. Tewee's body was
recovered from the first net.
The Wasco County medical exa
miner determined that Tewee had
drowned.
Post 421 7
The Warm Springs chapter of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Elliott
Palmer Post 42 1 7, was recently
commended for attaining 1 00 per
cent for the 1987-88 membership
year.
The organization with 46 active
members have maintained mem
bership and all records are in order.
Thirty-five of the members are life
members.
The letter received from national
Commandcr-In Chief Earl L. Stock,
Jr. reads.
Claude II. Smith, Sr. Commander
Elliott Palmer Post 4217
Warm Springs, Oregon
"I want to extend my personal
congratulations and best wishes to
you and to the members of your
Post tor being one ol the first Posts
to attain 100 percent for the 1987-
88 membership year.
"Our organization was founded
in 1 899 when 13 Spanish-American
War veterans gathered in the rear
of a tailor shop in Columbus, Ohio,
and little did they dream that what
they started in their dedication to
assist those who fought for our
country would turn into the over
two-million member organization
that it is today.
Just as our founding fathers
recognized the need for an organi
zation that would work for the
good of former servicemen, it is
reassuring to note that today's vete
rans are becoming increasingly aware
of the need for the continued growth
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
an organization that has earned the
right to be called the veterans'
advocate.
As VFW Post 42 17 marks its
100 percent in membership, let us

tribal fish and game officer.
The investigation began after a
photograph of an elk head and
neck, left on Quail Trail near the
Greeley Heights housing area,
appeared in the October 23 edition
of Spilyay Tymoo. The ongoing
investigation lead to the issuance
of a search warrant that was served
on Aguilar at his residence. During
the search, the antlers of three elk,
a five-point and two six-points,
were found as were elk body parts.
(Continued from page 1)
negotiations with farmers and
ranchers for access to unused pri
vate lands may be possible. Much
of this land still grows traditional
foods.
Areas on the Warm Springs
reservation where traditional foods
are available is quickly diminishing
due to competitive land uses. Rowe
points out, "Our land seems to be
shrinking because of other uses."

For land management purposes
the collected information may be
used to protect many land areas
that public agencies wish to sell or
exchange. Too many times there is
no reason for BLM to hold on to
land. But, "If it is important to the
Tribe culturally, they will hold on
to it," says Mattson.
